What is a Trojan?
Trojan infections are increasing all the time, but many of the people who are infected with trojans do not fully understand what a remote access trojan is, or the functions they can perform.
When people think of trojans, they normally think of a huge wooden horse that the Greeks gifted the city of Troy in which they had secretly hidden their warriors. Computer trojans are based on the same idea; they appear to be harmless when often they harbour a secret malicious backdoor letting in hackers.
Most trojans are not viruses, meaning they do not have the ability to reproduce themselves; they rely on the deceptiveness of people to propagate them in the wild.
